As there is 5 more girls than boys and b is the number of boys, the expression b + 5 represents the number of girls. 
total there are 27 childrens
b + (b+5) = 27
b + b + 5 = 27
2b = 27 -5 
b =22 / 2
b =11
so the number of boys there are 11 and girls are 11 + 5 = 16 
and total is 16 + 11 = 27

the perimeter of a rectangle is 62 feet.if the width of the rectangle is 19ft. what is the length of the rectangle
denis23 [38]
Perimeter = 2(l+w) or 2(length+width)

So far you have the width, which is 19feet. Since you have two sides of the rectangle which are 19 feet, add 19+19=38

Subtract 62-38 to get 24.

You now have the length of both of the sides combined. So you need to divide 24/2 = 12
The length of the rectangle = 12ft.

How do you find the area of a triangle if you only know it's three sides?
DiKsa [7]
You would have to find the height.

To do this, you cut the triangle from the upper vertex to the base to create two new triangles.

Then you use the Law of Cosines. You could use the google calculator for this by searching “law of cosines calculator” and inputting the values, but in case of a test, the formula is a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cosA

If you could provide an example of a triangle, I will gladly help you with the steps! Hope this helped!
